Health Fair (Shrewsbury High School), December 10, 2024

Overview. The first annual Health Fair at SHS, organized by Health Teacher Erin Burtnyk, aimed to provide Grade 11 Health students with access to community resources that support health and well-being. The event focused on developing essential health skills, including accessing reliable health information and services, analyzing influences, and effective communication. As part of the fair, students researched a chronic disease, created tri-fold posters, and identified both risk and protective factors related to their topic. They also connected their findings to a local community resource that addresses a specific risk factor, highlighting its role in promoting health.
